    Finally got the other half Chinese titanium Brompton. Impressively 7.95kg (but with no mudguards)

    Won’t say the fit and finishes was 100% percent when it came out of the box. And the third party parts will need some tweaking especially around the hinges where it seems a little stiff but I hope it will become looser soon.

    Parts include al lot of H&H, Ace, suncord and MKS, it is also 5 speed too :/ this will need to be refine too. But luckily no custom charge, which after 2 months of waiting isn’t too bad.

    Frame and forks looks amazing as well as the stem. Quality I feel is up there with Brompton.

    The only bad things is the brakes does feel a little non responsive but this might be the cables or pads.

    Girlfriend seems to be happy with her gift which is all that matters I guess.

  • That is the Ti welding I'm talking about.
    Still not the best but a darn sight prettier than what we've seen come out of Sheffield, Brompton.
    Be interesting to get a comparison of how it rides vs. steel. How flexy it really is.
    And let us know how the Suncord wheels and gear setup works. Been eyeballing these as a possibility for a while now.

  • Bitter sweet for me here, as now I’m very worried about the T-line I got is just going to be a disappointment now 😅

    Will test ride it into work tomorrow. I’m quite excited to ride into work for a Monday to see what’s this bike is all about in terms of comfort and the flexibility of the frame due to the standard profile.

    The suncord wheels looks nice, definitely gives that aero vibe. Braking is my only concern as the seems a little spongy atm. Hopefully new cable or brake pads will sort this out.
